Wells Fargo Center in Minneapolis was designed by César Pelli, with Hines Interests as developer. Construction ran from 1986 to 1988. The infobox lists Art Deco Postmodernism, and the text calls it a modernized Art Deco style and a homage to 30 Rockefeller Plaza. It uses glass, steel and stone. It is 775 feet (236 m) in the infobox and 774 feet in the text, with 57 floors.
It is the third-tallest building in Minneapolis, after the IDS Center and Capella Tower. It is floodlit from sunset to midnight from setback rooftops. The U.S. EPA recognized it in 2000 as one of the 100 most energy-efficient U.S. buildings.
It stands on the site of the Northwestern National Bank Building, damaged by a 1982 fire and imploded two years later. Northwestern National, renamed Norwest, kept its headquarters here, and the Wells Fargo identity followed. Starwood Capital bought the tower in 2019 for 315 million dollars. The text gives no public hours.
